TWQ Roundtable: What Was Russia Promised about NATO?

The Washington Quarterly invites you for a roundtable discussion of:
What Has Russia Been Promised About NATO Enlargement?

With
Mark Kramer
Director of the Cold War Studies Project, Harvard University
Senior Fellow, Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies

Moderated by
Alexander T.J. Lennon
Editor in Chief, The Washington Quarterly
Senior Fellow, International Security Program, CSIS

In this roundtable discussion, Mark Kramer will discuss recently declassified evidence that undermines the contention that top-level assurances were provided to Gorbachev in 1990 not to enlarge NATO either eastward or to former Soviet states. In a controversial piece, published in the April 2009 issue of The Washington Quarterly, he reveals that no such assurances were ever given or sought.
